IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-BRACKETS.

`Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 168,705, dated October1.1, 1875; application filed January 12, 1874.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL BAEcELLos, of Brooklyn, E. D., Kings county,New York, have invented. an Improvement in Lamp- Brackets, of which thefollowing s a specification:

My lamp-bracket is made for holding a glass lamp by a lateral projectionor trunnion, so that the body of the lamp does not interfere with thelight passing down immediately beneath it; but, on the contrary, thebody of the lamp acts as a lens to concentrate the rays of light beneathit.

In the drawing, A represents a table or the bed of a sewing-machine, towhich the base c of the bracket is attached, either by screws or by ayoke, with a screw below the table.

The vertical round rod B rises from this base o, and around it is thetubular portion E of the bracket I, which bracket is made of the curvedbrace g, top piece f, and connectingbar h. There is a nut, m, upon theupper end of the round rod B, by which the bracket can be clamped whenit has Vbeen turned around to the proper position, and a screw, s,serves also to securethe parts. The lamp N is made of glass with agudgeon or round handle, o, projecting from one side, and this handle ois received into the clamp P at the end of the bracket so as to be heldfirmly by such clamp when adjusted.

It will seldom be necessary to provide for raising or lowering the lamp,or for extending the length of the bracket, but devices for this objectmay be added.

y The lamp being free from any ring or other device around it that willcast a shadow, and the reservoir being of glass, the light will beintense below the lamp, and hence the iinprovem ent is especiallyavailable with sewingmachines, writing-desks, 85o.

I claim as my invention- The lamp-bracket, made of the standard c B,tube E, arm f, braces g h, in combination with the lamp N, trunnion o,and clamp P, substantially as set forth.

This specification signed this 5th day of January, 1874:.
